Food shopping. I am a lable reading, organic buying nutrition freak. Rarely are the things that I buy on sale and I don't mind at all. We are what we eat.

make my car payment! I won't even tell you how much it is, but it was my mother's day gift last year, so I have no choice!

Hmmm..
I would say laundry-I just can't get into hanging it. Maybe it's our hard water here, but hanging the clothes seems to make the clothes really stiff and stretches out the necks. All the products I would buy to soften my clothes would probably add up to the same as using my gas dryer. I had an electric dryer I would probably try harder. I did an experiment once, hanging ALL my laundry for one entire month. I saved 8.00 on my gas bill. Just wasn't worth it.

I would have to say it would be on "hair care". I have naturally curly hair, and am 75% while headed at the ripe age of 40! UGH! Anyways, I have my hair professionally cut (all 4 of us do) and have it "all over" colored every four months, and root touch up every month because of all the white. I also only use the salon shampoo and conditioners on my hair because it is color treated. I have tried over the counter, but they just do NOT keep my hair the way it needs to be. All 3 (DH and 2 boys) have calic's that are horrible. Guess where the boys get it?!?!?!? There is no way I could even attempt to cut their hair.
